Nah, bro. Nah.

Wu Forever is a classic. Whole album still sounds just as fresh as it did in 97' and light years ahead of everything new these days.

Not a single wack track

Black Shampoo is classic. Hard ass beat, U God dropped a joint for the ladies and it was still a hard ass track.

Maria is dope as fukk. Classic track. Dirt Dog opening the song up. The strings on the joint :ohlawd:

Dog shyt is a classic as well. :mjtf:

Second Coming, hard ass soulful beat. Tekitha singing oh so beautifully over a hard ass beat.


And Wu Revolution is one of the hardest intros of all time. Popa Wu and Uncle Pete dropping knowledge :wow:

Are you serious? That should have been one disc.. Who signed off giving U-God a solo?..

So many bangers but at the time ('97) it was a crossroad for the Wu..after that it went downhill. Best group ever though..

The Bobby Digital saga though.. Lol

Album has 2 discs of nothing but some of the most pure and organic raw hip hop

That U God track Black Shampoo is nice

The Bobby Digital album did have some hiccups though. but RZA was just having fun on that album

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but honestly, Wu Forever is the more interesting than 36 Chambers IMO

36 Chambers is a masterpiece and a game changing album, but what makes Wu Forever better IMO, is RZA and the whole Clan being mastering their styles

It's like a more refined Wu

It's polished but still raw without comprising anything for their roots

But it's like they had mastered everything on Forever

RZA reached his peak as a producer (and yes, I know he didn't produced every beat, but he did produce the majority of the album)

The way he evolved with his sound is just unbelievable considering he has already produced several solo classic albums and a classic group album already

The whole clan sound seasoned and better on it. everybody on their was in their own element and space as an artist.
